Nick-Hastine and Mammoth become Fansite Reps

[xxMATTGxx]

I've known this for a few hours know after reading the email but I thought I would post about it. Powertoo have appointed two people to become Fansite reps and they are to liaise between fansites and staff where needs be. It also states they will be identifiable by their badges at some point later on this week.

The two people who have been chosen is: Nick-Hastine and Mammoth

[Kyle]

Chosen? Does this mean that they aren't actually employed staff members?

[xxMATTGxx]

Well they aren't on Sulakes staff books if that's what you mean. It seems it's their idea and she liked it and they have decided to go along with it.

[MKR&*42]

She seems to be doing a lot of stuff 'as she pleases' lately? :L

[Meanies]

She seems to be doing a lot of stuff 'as she pleases' lately? :L

She has the 'power too' do as she pleases eheh excuse the joke

So these two people are basically taking over the communication between habbo and fansites.. was there not a paid position to do this beforehand, was his name Jason I think?

[-Nick]

So there going to be like jason i persume?

I assume it will be something like that but not fully like the role Jason had. Like at the moment Habbox has been sending and receiving emails to Powertoo and she happily replies within the next day or even on the same day.

I got this from another fansite (HFFM) and this is what they said to them:

[Mr.L.Darragh]

Hmm, interesting.

If we are meant to use these to communicate with staff etc, and they are going to be managing fansites, I'm not sure if I feel safe talking to someone who isn't currently staff.

Not sure if i'm correct but neither of them are owners of official fansites are they, this seems a little unusual???

xxMATTGxx
That's kinda scary tbf. I much prefer talking to trusted staff directly.

[zombies]

wasnt this Grecian9's old job?

[Kieran]

Sounds like more excuse for power tripping Habbos :)

Well she said we can always email her via that email address and it hasn't been a problem so far. I'm not sure if Mammoth is one now - The email says he is but reading his posts on HFFM he doesn't seem to acknowledge it.

Yeah, well I'll always prefer contacting her directly tbh.

Doesn't Mammoth own HFFM which was taken off the official fansite list as they were basically scamming??

Mammoth is staff at HFFM - Not sure the whole reason about the "official fansite" list issue but I assuming they and ThisHabbo will be put back on it. ThisHabbo also got unfiltered recently as well.

I've emailed Powertoo asking if she could explain what the fansite reps are going to do and stuff.

Yeah.
Without sounding too harsh; it seems a little weird to pick people from a fansite that went through that issue thingy, going by what Nick-Hastine said.

Definitely needs a little bit of clarification from Powertoo.

[Scotland]

Nick is a friend of mine.. hes appearing offline - acting like staff on pm he was speaking like powertoo does i asked why and he just said he likes it better.... :l

[MKR&*42]

So basically the 2 reps like HFFM the most? Bit bias ;)

+ Good stuff about the last line.

[Inseriousity.]

ooh just assumed they were staff. well good luck to them I suppose. seems a pointless role if people are just going to cut out the middleman and go straight to powertoo.

Despite that I am really loving how engaged Habbo staff seem to be with fansites. Normally it's just rhethoric but finally there is some action!

[KieKieKoala]

Habbo can never get it right, either they have some ******** who can't handle his job and removes fansites from the list if they disagree with him or you get the woman who hands out high roles to random people.

[Kyle]

I give it a week before they're both hacked

[dbgtz]

Would be nice if they got people who could spell.

[Sian]

Would be nice if they got people who could spell.

this is the only thing I was thinking.

but yeh, there's no point appointing normal habbo members to be liasons considering it is currently working and will only work having senior fansite staff and habbo staff communicating. This will not go well...

[Catchy]

Sounds like more excuse for power tripping Habbos :)

I doubt it'll last long, wasn't there some sort of reps before? That seemed to die out, like everything else on Habbo seems to cough guardians.

[God]

I know its good that their at least acknowledging Habbo fansites, but I wish it wasn't a staff member from a fansite thats not even Official taking over as the Habbo Fansite Rep who clearly has showed he has biased view for HFFM being the top dog. Who will probs make it all about HFFM and leave other fansites in the dark. It would have been better to actually hire someone who knows what their doing and is not just a kid to do this.

[Daltron]

Wait they gave these positions to staff of Sulake or actual Habbos, im so confused. Who's Nick-Hastine :s never heard of him in my life before

[dbgtz]

He has the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk.

[Okeanos]

I'm also confused as to why fansites need special reps, presumably if staff needed to message fansite owners they would send a minimail?

[Red]

Seems like a bit of a joke. So why was he chosen?... because it was his idea to have better fansite communication? :S Ummm I think we have all been saying that...

[Mr.L.Darragh]

I'm also confused as to why fansites need special reps, presumably if staff needed to message fansite owners they would send a minimail?

Yeah, we have perfectly good communication going on through email and IM. I see absolutely no need for reps.

[Anhur]

I think if you all disagree with the idea of having two Reps, then all of you should tell Powertoo how unhappy you are about it about it. If I was a Fansite Owner I would not like this at all.

I remember before the merge, Habbo.com.au had a similar thing - and as you would expect the "Fansite Leader" favored his own website, and the others were really left alone to do whatever.

All Habbos should be treated the same.

[auffant1]

Wtf Matt? Why weren't you choosen? Slacker ;)

Jks jks jks

OT: I don't really like the idea cause how can two people represent all these fansite?

[God]

Yes, I can predict a HFFM filled Habbo :L #PowertooToBeFired

[Empired]

Nah powertoo's doing the best she can. She can never make everyone on Habbo happy by doing one thing, somebody's always going to object. I reckon she chose these people for more of a reason than they pushed the hardest. Give them a chance at the least!

[jorsian]

This job seems to be about a whole lot of nothing. It will just boost their ego by giving them a false sense of power.

[sex]

Nick-hastine seems very annoying. does anyone know his previous accounts......it was recently made. and isn't having your full name as your username not allowed lol

[Yawn]

nick-hastine owned the helpdesk group and was in charge of that til it was taken off navigator and now he is doing this job. he is trying so hard to speak formally and sound professional that he isn't even making sense. powertoo keeps giving him these special roles and a sense of power for no reason at all. he's done nothing.

[jorsian]

he is trying so hard to speak formally and sound professional that he isn't even making sense.

Oh dear, I hate when people do that. Judging by the look of all the spelling/grammar mistakes in that screenshot I would hazard a guess that he's only a mere child. Powertoo seems to be making rash decisions as of late. They may come back to bite her in the end.

[Michael]

I don't know why Nick-Hastine and Mammoth (whoever that is) was chosen - I think it is better of as staff having this role as they can be properly trusted. Nick-Hastine for sure won't stay on it long probably nor will the other guy. Nick abandoned his help desk project which he asked me to take on this - he's just another wannabe staff member. For the people asking Nick-Hastine's previous accounts were Wiitard1 & M.osman.

[Mr.L.Darragh]

They have quite a bad track record as far as I know, and apparently she picked them because it was their idea..

[Abdicators]

Don't know who nick is, but Mammoth? Oh dear. 8-)

[Red]

I really don't get why they are giving owners of other fansites the role. And like Graham said what was Nick's previous accounts? He can't have only joined in December.

irDez said I should have been chosen over Mammoth as I don't do foul play :P - Anyway, still waiting for a reply in regards of my question. No rush however but will keep you all updated once I know more.

I also sent out an email regarding my 'concerns' aswell...

- Just entered the fansite meeting room to be greeted by the 'reps'. Caught them in the middle of a discussion about splitting the work. Nick mentioned to Mammoth about her working only with HFFM lmfao.
I asked them what they do and apparently they are a middleman and they will be helping in meetings and putting ideas into action.

[DJ-Dez]

I strongly do believe that @xxMattGxx should be the fansite rep in my honest opinion really.

If this guy is really 'middle-manning' fansites, I think they'll get too involved. Like this Nick bloke has already asked me for Admin on ThisHabboForum - it's a joke, feel like I'm being blackmailed to be official now.

No chance. All our meetings are over Skype anyway, I mean, we've all done this a long time, do we really need help? Why can't be go directly to staff? Anyway, strongly believe Matt should be the rep. Sticks to the rules and manages the oldest fansite well.

It's irdez btw

But apparently'



Mo says:
*actually
*he might not
*co of the amount of
*complaints
*She's gonna tell him t quit HFFM
*if he wants to be a rep


That's Nick btw

[Yawn]

nick had an account called BRUNO:MARS or something where he pretended to be bruno mars but thats all i know lol

[DJ-Dez]

It's Mo, known him years. Always begged for an Admin role, he's a complete noob in terms of fansites, sorry to say.

[Yawn]

its pretty evident he is a bit of a noob in general. he somehow knows powertoo like i said in the previous thread about his help desk which is why she keeps giving him this special treatment and high up roles.

I personally think no one should be fansite rep lmfao. It wasn't needed before, so why is it needed now?

In terms of meetings, he was referring to the official fansite summits.

[xxMATTGxx]

I don't want to judge too early in regards of both Fansite Reps. Like I said in another post I have sent an email to Powertoo questioning about the reps not in terms of who has been given the roles but what are they actually going to be doing and what this means for Habbox. The reason I'm not judging as I don't really know them at the moment and would be wrong for me to do so personally.

I have spoken to both Nick and Mammoth though in the past two days. None of them have asked for an Admin role on Habbox at this moment in time and if they do then it would be a no. We do not just give out admin roles here at Habbox freely like that so I hope none of them ask me! :P

[Yawn]

well yeah its not fair to pick any regular habbo player for a special role (its never going to work anyway). the way powertoo has gone about it is even worse though. she keeps picking this one person to do all the special roles and favouring them for no apparent reason, its ridiculous. to do this kind of job u need someone who is impartial.

[Luke367]

I only know Nick-Hastine but good luck to them :)

[Pigperson]

Sounds like a good idea to have people specifically in charge of this.

Will

[DJ-Dez]

Just interviewed Nick on the radio at ThisHabbo

He has no idea, admitted he has no clue in specific stuff. Guys, it's a shambles. Stated that he doesn't know his role, what he's doing, nor what fansite events he's going to help. States he has the experience, but really? No, he doesn't.

If you heard it, it was a pretty poor interview.

[Yawn]

well he did say he "didnt remember" how he got the role......like what!

[xxMATTGxx]

Nick has thrown the suggestion out that when Habbo decide which fansites can become official - A ceremony should be hold in the Thertredome where two people of that site come up on the stage etc. They get the badge and so on.


Oh and Fansite V Fansite competitions/events.

That's not that bad a suggestion tbh. Fansite v Fansite events would certainly be interesting.

[xxMATTGxx]

Just got an email from Habbo:


Greetings Fansites,

Since our announcement about the appointment of Fansite reps caused concern among some of you, we wanted to take the opportunity to clarify and possibly get some perspective into the proceedings:

- First off, nowhere was there any mention of Fansite reps needing to be from official fansites, nor will that ever be the leading criterium.

- Having fansite reps help staff out is strictly on a trial basis, i.e.
we may find that in three months the post has run its course or it is time for a switch. Either way, three months will be the trial period.

- Both Mammoth and Nick-Hastine approached staff individually about wanting to take on this post. They offered constructive, helpful ideas and suggestions that focus on the wider fansite community, not on individual fansites.

- Mammoth will be working on fansite community-building projects, such as the bimonthly Fansite Frenzy, which incidently is his idea.

- As our Make it Official Fansite Poll resulted in 1250 applications (and counting), we're expecting a fair number (20) of new fansites join the happy throng of Officials. Nick-Hastine will help staff with logistics and making them feel welcome. He may also help man the Official Helpdesk. NOTE: Any decision-making process remains in the hands of staff.

- Reps will NOT spend their time spying on forums (staff can do that on their own) and sending official communications (staff will continue to do that), but they can be approached ingame IF or WHEN a fansite need arises. NOTE: You will still be able to communicate directly with staff.

- Reps will not have special powers, priviledges, admin rights etc.

- Any serious offenses, perm bans etc. will result in the removal of the Fansite Rep badge.

We hope this went some way to address your concerns and would ask that you give our reps until May to prove themselves. We'd then be more than happy to discuss rotation options or any other queries you may have had with the appointments in our May meeting.

Many thanks.

Best,

Habbo Fansites

I got this from another fansite (HFFM) and this is what they said to them:

http://puu.sh/20Vj6/f605741c69

Oh god at his grammar! "I make sure there abidin by the code of conduct" "no fowl language"
Seems like it's going to be a flawed position

[sex]

approach powertoo with ur own ideas like make hxhd officaaal hangout / help desk lol

[Okeanos]

I rather regret sticking up for Nick-Hastine, I thought he was asking powertoo to do more staff involved things (like the help desk, which I thought was going to be staff managed) - it now seems he is seeking postions of power and influence for himself. This fansite rep thing is silly.

[Mr.L.Darragh]

I was thinking last night, the reps should be split into more individual reps. So for instance have one rep for communicating with the community, one for helping with new fansites, one for checking on behaviour of fansite and another helping with events and then obviously a few more?

This would make the system a lot more fair as it would split the privileges up through more people than just letting two do it all. What do you think?

I'm not sure if power too will even think about this idea though, as in the email she stated that we wait until may, when the system can be discussed in a meeting...

[KieKieKoala]

Personally don't see it lasting further than the three month trial.

[Aaron]

Honestly not sure how to take this, don't think two Habbo's should be given such a 'role' when they seem to be in favor of HFFM.

This was a previous paid-staff role, now they've handed it out to two Habbo's.. hmm strange, would like to see what their official roles are, and why those two were chosen over everyone else in .COM.

[Samantha]

Mammoth came in my room today and he didn't seem to take the power if any to his head, but I doubt many will go to them though due to fansite representatives being able to contact powertoo.
